We are all like snowflakes all different in our own way. – Unknown
Dear Parents,
Welcome Back. I hope you all had a great break and enjoyed your family time. We are excited to be on campus and continuing to have students in the classroom. Thank you for all your good wishes and thoughtful gifts over the holiday. I was lucky enough to spend my break in Florida with my husband and celebrated our 40th Anniversary. I am very Blessed.
But we are here and looking toward the future. We are excited to do special activities for Catholic Schools Week, not the same as last year but still celebrating who we are as a Catholic School with so much to offer. We are planning for our Spring Musical, sports will be coming back in a minimal way, all in a modified setting to adhere to CDC and Archdiocese guidelines and ensure student safety. Together we are slowly thinking about a time we can go about our day without the worry of COVID. For now we continue to be cautious, deliberate and proactive in our procedures and best practices. Please do the same at home. Follow quarantine guidelines and practice social distancing, masks and washing your hands, especially since we are now inside most of the day. We move forward in faith and continue to pray for those who are suffering and for the continued protection of our students and their families.
Wishing you many blessings and celebrations for this upcoming year.
“Faith is like a bright ray of sunlight. It enables us to see God in all things as well as all things in God.” St. Francis de Sale
Terry Maus, Principal
